I have gas and gurgling after meals?

I have a very gurgling stomach and gas after eating, especially after lunch and dinner. This is very uncomfortable. I take Tums after meals to help with the gas and gurgling sounds.

Hi, thanks for your question!

Some foods can cause more gas and bloating. The amount of gas and bloating depends on what foods you are sensitive to. I strongly suggest that for the next 2-3 weeks, you keep a diary of what you ate, and whether or not the gas was worse. This will help you determine which foods are most often the cause.

For gas, certain products such as Ovol, Gas-X and Beano can help reduce the amount of gas. The last one is especially useful after eating legumes if that is the source of gas in your case

As a precaution, it would be wise to space out the intake of one of these 3 products by at least 3 hours with other medications, if you are taking them. Your pharmacist will be able to give you more information on the dosage among other things.

I hope I have helped you, do not hesitate if you have other questions!

I'm going to try this

I hardly ever eat legumes anymore, because my stomach and buttocks will explode so much I have gas all the time!!! Sorry for the vulgarization

Could it be celiac disease, all that gas and bloating?

Unfortunately, for this type of diagnosis you will need a medical evaluation. If the problem persists, I strongly advise you to consult your doctor
